Moscow - Russia said yesterday that Moscow and Washington could agree on sweeping cuts in their nuclear arsenals before 2001, but renewed its opposition to US plans to amend the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty.
Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov said that despite the US dragging its feet on fully ratifying all aspects of the START-2 treaty on nuclear warhead cuts, Moscow saw a good chance to move towards sealing a new far-reaching START-3 agreement before 2001.
